are misd by @nimble rock shafts which carry arms 3l. adapted to engage rub plates 2li carried by the door, as shown in Fig. l. These rock slialts 3() are journaled in the brackets 1S, the bracket having a hollow boss for that purpose, as

shown in Figs. l and 8.

The' doors l5 have tloor beams 27 in the form of angle bars riveted to their undersides, and along the. underside ot these doors near their edges are the Z-bars through which the tloor beams project. .Riveted to the Z-bars and then being twisted at right angles and riveted to the flange of the tloor beam are the `rub plates .26 with which engage the raising arms Si on the rock shafts 30. This provides a smooth and convenient surface for the ends of the raising arins to rub upon as the door is being raised. Hooked levers 39. mair be provided on the car sides adapted to engage the projecting end io the tloor beams to hold the doors in elevated position, as is usual with Ingoldsl'iy ears.

The spring Q5 which strikes the bumper Q0 is carried by the door b v means of a strap Q9 which is riveted to the flange of the floor beam Q7 and is bent across the spring at 24 and has its ends 23 then turned inwardly parallel `with the main portion of the strap, as shown in Fig. 7. The portion Q4 oit this strap which crosses the spring holds is against the floor, 'while the ends prevent lateral displacement ol the spring. The spring, however. is tree to flatten, sliding in opposite directions along the floor beam toward the edges of the door; this it does when it strikes the bumper 20.

The holsters 2 extend through from one side of thewcar to the other and have cross webs to which the central sill plates l are riveted. Such cross webs are shown at in Figs. l and 2. The bolster has a vertical web 34 and tension and compression flanges 3G and 3T along (lie upper and lower edges of the same so that il. is' approxiimitely an l-beam. The end o'f the plates l is eut ont.. as shown b v the dotted lines in Fig. Q` to fit into the bolster between; the flanges 3G vand thereof'`vv and such end riveted to the cross-Web The draft plates il. are located in alinement with the center-sill plates 1 and extend into the bols-.ter on the other side and are riveted to the cross Webs- 39 thereof, as shown.

The present invention includes the torin- -ing of the holsters, as shoivn and explained. and extending the center sill plates and draft plates into .them and there securing them. The drawings shoiv, along the upper edges of the draft plates, angle members 40 and il riveted thereto with their angles tacng opposite directions.y These members may extend across the top et the bolster and sides to the centerbe riveted to opposite. sill plates l. A thifrd ai fie member 43 may lbe provided on the opposite side of the plate l from the angle member 41. The angles S at the lou'er edge ot' the center-sill plates l may extend to or through the bollower edge ot' the dratft plates and extend through the bolster, and be riveted along` the lower edge ol the center-sill plates on the opposite sides trom the angles 8.

This is shown in Figs. 2 and` (l and consists of an angle bar G0 placed in the foi-in of a ridge across the car and having its ends ilaltened and riveted towooden filling beam Gl beneath (it) and abutting the car sides and held by bolts (3Q passing through the angle bar. This striit`tie is ver)v cheap to construct, and is serv strong and eflieient in service.
